Pihb
is the Thai name
for a somewhat large tin or aluminum canister or container that takes the
form of a squarish upright elongated rectangular box, topped with a round
lid. Though somewhat archaic, it is still commonly used throughout Thailand
to store food in bulk, often cookies or candy, such as
khanom kha kai
(fig.),
for example. Such candy or cookies stored inside are typically classified as
